Description
Secrets live by trust, die by betrayal.
England, late summer 1940
Preparations for the invasion are complete. The defeat of the Royal Air Force is all that remains before German troops march on the streets of London.
Livy Ashford, the daughter of a Lord, has secrets of her own. Secrets that have chained her heart since she was a child. Love has eluded her until an accident of war sends Jamie Wallace, a fighter pilot, a butcher’s son, into her life.
Fear of loving in a time of war when death can come at any time, the vast class differences that separate them as well as the lies and deceit of those they trust, all conspire to destroy them.
A deep web of secrets, intrigue and treachery by enemy agents consummates in the discovery of a most guarded secret, one that if known will instantly bring about the invasion.
Thread by thread the deceit unravels to reveal a stunning betrayal, one where the survival of Livy and Jamie as well as their nation will depend on them both keeping secrets. . .
